Diving Mexico
Phocea Mexico is based in Playa del Carmen, a charming village on the Caribbean coast of the Yucatan peninsula, and also on the island of Cozumel, another paradise for divers, an underwater site whose reputation has been a fact for a long time. Moreover, it is with pride and for your greater pleasure than we opened in February 2015, a dive center in La Paz (Baja California).
You can mix everything, Playa del Carmen & Cozumel for one day or for longer… add a little bit of cenotes or a tour and even a certification, an autotour… and even going to La Paz. Tell us your dreams and we will realize them!
